However, a restart should be very quick for any reasonable configuration - and if you use dual servers with failover, then no interruption in service to end devices.

I push new configs to both servers and then the servers test them and, if they pass, restart on alternate minutes (primary on even minutes, for example, and secondary on odd minutes). ...Steve -----Original Message----- From: dhcp-users <dhcp-users-boun...@lists.isc.org> On Behalf Of Simon Hobson Sent: Friday,May 22,2020 3:22 PM To: Users of ISC DHCP <dhcp-users@lists.isc.org> Subject: Re: Add scope without service restart, possible?

We run a pair of servers plus a staging server. We make changes and test the code on the staging server. If it passes, we sync to a git server. We run a script that causes the production servers to pull the new config from git and restart, one at a time. ________________________________ From: dhcp-users <dhcp-users-boun...@lists.isc.org> on behalf of Steve van der Burg <steve.vanderb...@lhsc.on.ca> Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 2:30 PM To: Users of ISC DHCP <dhcp-users@lists.isc.org> Subject: RE: Add scope without service restart, possible?
